Lookin’ good!

So, I’m a fan of Mr. Brainwash. He is the featured “artist” in Banksy’s Exit the Gift Shop film. The film was nominated for an Oscar this past year and it currently can be watched through instant view on Netflix.

If you purchase the DVD,  it includes the super fun “star power” glasses. Their directions state: For maximum viewing pleasure simply put on glasses, start DVD and look out the window.

My friend and I had more fun wearing the star power glasses while playing with two pink light sabers. The glasses make everything look like beautiful holographic rainbows! The hot pink light sabers are from the best store ever, five below.

hello vader.

Anyways, I received “Star Wars Reunion”, a print by Mr. Brainwash, in the mail today. I have had my eye on it for a while. I love it’s old timeyness.

Liquid Sundays is an art and music event that seeks to promote, engage and connect Pittsburgh’s dynamic art and music scene. It’s a quarterly event held at J. Verno Studios in the South Side.

This is one of Geekstar’s FAVORITE Pittsburgh events. Come support Pittsburgh’s music and art scene!

I don’t know why, but I love this.

It’s amazing how adding new music and video effects completely transforms an educational video from the 1950′s. Loves it!

Now, you should watch the original film.

Gee whiz! What a creep!
